    He sleeps in our room still. Most nights he ends up in bed with us, problem with that is that I don't sleep as well and I get a bad back cause I end up sleeping on my side with not enough room to roll on to my back. He's a little bed hog So I try to feed him and put him back in his bassinette

    Forgot to add that if I mention being tired etc to my Mum well then it's cause I feed him to sleep and let him sleep in our bed so much and maybe I should just offer him water instead! *sigh*

    so so tough at times feeding and losing out on sleep

    i reckon he is probably in a wonder week (which can last more than one week!). it will pass xx

    My dd had 6 weeks of 1-1.5hrly wakeups at around 5 months old and the only way I got through it was to have her in bed with me and she could just feed as long as she wanted to and I'd go back to sleep, Oh the back aches and sleeping on your side in about 6 inches of bed space, what fun. Sorry you're going through this, it will pass. I say just keep feeding him when he wants it, try to offer more feeds during the day maybe. I hope you can get some rest soon. On the weekend let hubby get up with him in the morning so you can get a few hrs extra sleep.

    He is probably too big for a Tetra Snugglebed but theremight besomething similar that you can use to keep him contained within a more user friendly space ??

    Oh yeah of course co sleeping and feeding to sleep is the who;e reason he has the sleep issue don't worry I BF DD to sleep and that was the reason we had soooo many issues (NOT) she is a worse sleeper now that she is weaned

    I think its a wonder week or teething related thing it does pass
